    Photography Notes

    Reflections are most reliable early in the day or during calm overcast conditions, when wind is minimal. Keeping the shoreline simple helps avoid roadside elements entering the frame. Using the surrounding peaks as background structure adds scale and depth to lake-level compositions.
